Defeated By The Taliban, Washington Decides To Take On Russia And China

By Paul Craig Roberts

December 07, 2013 "Information Clearing House - The several days of organized protests in Ukraine are notable for the relative lack of police violence. Unlike in the US, Canada, Thailand, Greece, and Spain, peaceful protesters have not been beaten, tear gassed, water cannoned, and tasered by Ukrainian police. Unlike in Egypt, Palestine, and Bahrain, Ukrainian protesters have not been fired upon with live ammunition. The restraint of the Ukrainian government and police in the face of provocations has been remarkable. Apparently, Ukrainian police have not been militarized by US Homeland Security...

Come on man, the Ukrainians despise the Russians and don't want the government to cozy back up with them. Not everything has the CIA behind it.

The best part of this article are some of the posted comments ........

pelle34lindbergh:

America could barely afford the $$ cost of global containment of Russian and Chinese spheres of influence when Washington had the money to do it. It can't do this anymore -- no matter how much "quantitative easing" the US Federal Reserve, Japan's, the EU, and other European central banks can muster to back up US foreign policy.

Nor can we expect the peoples of countries who had to suffer through decades of authoritarian and banana republican autocrats just to stand up for US foreign policy to keep accepting the austere national budgets they'll be suffering through for the next several years.

Why Neocons Seek to Destabilize RussiaApril 27, 2014

Exclusive: Any propaganda war starts by planting stories that your target is getting rich, whether he is or isnít, the latest move in demonizing Vladimir Putin. But the larger question is what might happen if the neocons succeed in destabilizing nuclear-armed Russia, asks Robert Parry.

W*gs appears to be in denial about the massive gold/silver manipulation currently underway -- to save the US dollar.

That manipulation seeks to disrupt and control free market mechanisms. Adam Smith is probably turning over in his grave.

But others around the world, including Putin, surely understand what is going on. Two can play the same game.

Should a smart well financed state decide to spoil the party, the Fed would be powerless to stop the rapid spike in the price of gold/silver.

What goes around...comes around. MHG

As usual, Gaffo has no idea what he's talking about.

So does this mean I should buy, sell or just sleep on the bars of gold I've been hoarding. And... is this bunker I built under my house with gas masks and powdered food still a good investment?

And how would that be any different from Goldman Sachs hoarding aluminum, or the Koch Brothers keeping oil in tankers off shore to drive up the price? Commodities. The dollar is not pegged to gold.

Well if you believe in a free market then you should be pissed about any and all of this.

The truth is the markets are rigged and manipulated -- and have been for a long time.

But the manipulation of gold is illegal. The SEC is authorized to hold those guilty responsible but as we know thanks to a recent whistleblower, the SEC officials played along with rampant illegality in order to garner high paying jobs with Goldman after leaving government service.

In other words, the regulators are hopelessly corrupt and this agrees with everything else we have learned about the SEC. For example, we know they buried the evidence of insider trading in the days before 9/11.

That evidence -- among other evidence -- proves that 9/11 was an inside job. But patriots like you are too confused to add two plus two -- and so are left to escape into fantasy whenever reality threatens to expose your deep denial. MHG

It's absolutely being manipulated. I don't have much gold, but I do have silver.

There ya go, it's all come full circle. Gold manipulation and 911 are all one big conspiracy.

Fools refuse to review the evidence because if they did they would have to face the facts and change their views. They might also have to act --
